This event was a dazzling affair. The dome of the Capitol was lighted, with | all the members of the cabinet agd the | United States Supreme Court attehding. The Vice President led the cotillion and the United States Marine Band sup- plied the dance music. Mrs. Willlam Windom, wife of the Secretary of the Treasury, was the first president of the Ladies’ Ald. Sponsors of Celebration. | To memorialize the founding of the hospital and the anniversary of Presi- dent Garfield's death, prominent offi- cials, headed by Vice President Curtis and the Governor of Ohlo, with the cials, with R.
